About the talk

Join our informal fireside chat with experienced professionals across market, credit, operational and front-office risk, each with around 20 years of industry experience.  

 

Hear what risk management looks like day-to-day, how our speakers built their careers, what they enjoy and find challenging, the skills that matter, and how the profession may evolve — including the impact of AI.

 

Open to all students, including first years. No prior risk-management study or internship experience required. There will also be plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Come along if you are curious and want to explore whether risk management could be a career path for you!”
